When Palmerston neglected to comply

The Decay of Iron.
Boston Journal.

Boston journal.
Mr.. David Stiles of Middleton, who
has been q practical worker in iron
with his own hands for more than fifty
years, has written an interesting let.
ter to the Salem Gazette, in which he
shows by observation that iron rots
from age. He says that the continual
Jar has the effect to weaken the tensile
strength of iron, which statement he
illustrates by saying that the step OF
carriage when new may be bent back
and forth without breaking, but after
few years service it will break, no
matter how we'll preserved. Thesa
loss OF tensile strength is noted in car.
rage springs. The poorest may be
safely warranted for a year, but even
after that short time they begin to
break, and those OF the best quality
will break after years OF constant and
trying service. The writer has found
that old crowbars, made of the best
Swedish iron and used by the early
settlers OF New England, have become
SO rotten that they could not be weld
ed when broken and had an offensive
smell when the welding heat was an
piled. Formerly all iron was wrought
by the trip hammer, which scattered
all the brittle and worthless material,
but the substitution of the rollers
makes it possible to run bars through
which contain the poorest stock. Iron
made from newly mined ore, even if OF
poorer quality, is safer than that in
to the manufacture ofwhich scrapiron
is introduced, which is now imported
in large quantities. The writer, as a
practical iron worker, expresses the
opinion that, as this scrap iron may
be the old English bar iron, which six
ty years ago was of little value except
for heavy ties, it is unfit for truss or
suspension bridges.

Three Wrong Guessos.

Frederick Smith, who lived in Ran.
dolph county, N. c., during the War
OF the Revolution, had q difficult part.
to play. He was Indifferent to the
kings claims, and he cared little for
the cause Of the colonies. II people
wished to be patriots and fight the
British troops. Smith was willing.
provided he was not disturbed in his
log-cabin, which was filled with "olive
plants in the form OF little Smiths.
Smith, being a quiet man, with lit.
tie shrewdhess, and no convictions,
was willing to side with those in whose
company he found himself, whether
Wing or Tory. But his plastic nature
was the occasion ofseveral difficulties:
Small parties Of Wings would assume
the costume or badges IF Tories, and
90 about. the country, picking up
reticent friends OF King George. One
day d party of Wings. disguised as
Tories, came upon Smith. Notknow;
ing him, they asked him the usual
question, "Whom are you for?"
Smith answered, II am for the king,
God bless him?'
care your replied the leader;
''then we'll hang you'll" and III q min:
ute or two Smith was dangling from
the limb of tree:
AS they did not desire to push mat:
ters too far, they soon cut him down
and let him 60, with the warning I'd
change his politics. Not long after a
parry OF Tories, disguised as Wings,
ranging in the neighborhood, asked
him again, "Whom are you for?"
"Pm for the Colonies and Independ:
ence!" exclaimed Smith.
"Hang the rebel up!" exclaimed the
leader -. > -"
Smith went up, hung as long as he
could without suffocatlng, was lower
ed to the ground, and dismissed with
the injunction to come out for King
George, or he would certainly hang
until dead the next time.
The months passed, and the war
was almost finished, when Smith was
suddenly surprised by a party Of
armed men.
"Whom are you for?" shouted the
leader.
Poor Smith was in fix. He had
answered that question twice before,
and each time the question choked
HIM. A happy thought struck him.
"Im for the DEVIL" said he, with a
chuckle.
care you? Then the sooner we send
you to your master the better!' re-.
piled the leader.
A grapevine was put around Smiths
neck; one end was thrown over the
limb OF a tree; a dozen men pulled on
that end, and Smith went up. The
party, save one, rode away. leaving
Smith dancing in air.
That one, making an excuse, stayed
behind and cut Smith down before he
had expired.

Origin OF Oscillation.

The "British Apollo" when asked
why kissing was SO popular, what it's
benefit, and who it's inventor, replied:
"Ah, madame, had you a lover you

kisses of mutual lovers give infinite
satisfaction. AS to its invention it is
certain that nature was it's author.
and it began with the first courtsh.p."
1t seems difficult to conceive of time
when kissing was unknown in this ISL
and, and yet a Scandinavian tradi-
ton states that kissing was first in

beautiful daughter of Hengist. In Ed

departure, to kiss his hostess and all
the ladies OF her family. Again, in
Henry's time, when Cavendish visited
q French nobleman at his own chat

head OF her mHidens thus greeted him:
"For as much as We be an Englishman,
WHOSE custom it is in your country to

staid scholar as he was, writes EN-
Enthusiastically of the practice: "Ifyou
go to any place you are received with
a kiss by all; if you depart on a jour-
ney you are dismissed with kiss; you
return-kisses are exchanged; they
come to visit you-a kiss the first
thing; they leave you-you kiss them
all round. Do they meet you any

A Good School.

One Of the most interesting schools
in the city of New York is connected
with and supported by the firm Of
Hoe e. Company, manufacturers of
saws and printing presses. The firm
employs about thousand men, and
usually has in its shops two hundred
and fifty boys learning their trade. 10
construct the immense and rapid
printing press now used requires the
most accurate and skillful machinists,
and the Hoe brothers perceived that
boys at present havenot a fair chance
to acquire accuracy and skill.
Accordingly, some time ago, they
founded their school, in which their
apprentices receive, five evenings in
each week, nine months in the year,
the best instruction in the principles
OF their trade.
Two skilltul draughtsmen give in
struction in machine drawing. Other
teachers carry the boys forward in
arithmetic, algebra and geometry.
The principles of mechanics are thor
oughly taught, as we'll as illustrated
ay apparatus. Occasionally short
lecture is given on the rights and du-
ties Of a citizen, or on some interest
ing point of history or geography.
At six O'Clock in the evening, when
the days work is over, the boys find
ready for them near the school rooms
q lunch, which is furnished free by the
firm to save the boys from loss of
time in going home. At half past six
the session begins, and lasts an hour
and a half and the pupils have still a
good part OF the evening at their dis
posal.
The school is equally beneficial to
the apprentices and to the enlightened
men who employ them. The boys get
knowledge of geometry and mechanics;
the firm gets knowledge of the boys.
When an apprentice shows superior
intelligence manual dexterity,or bus
mess aptitude, the firm knows it, and
i'll due time he is placed where he will
do most good to himself and to them.
